Example of GeoJSON features with labels.
This example showcases a number of options that can be set on text styles. When "Text/Wrap" is chosen (for example for the line features), the label is wrapped by inserting the character \n, which will create a multi-line label. The "Open Sans" web font will be loaded on demand, to show dynamic font loading.
